Exterior Lighting Proposal - 107 Federal
Dear Historic Commission,
I respectfully request approval for exterior lighting at the front entrance of 107 Federal
Street, as part of the property’s previously approved historic review.
The building, constructed in the Second Empire architectural style with a Mansard roof,
reflects a design common in Salem between approximately 1855 and 1885. Exterior
lighting appropriate to this period typically follows neoclassical and symmetrical design
principles. Historically, entry lighting consisted of lantern-style fixtures made of copper,
brass, or iron, often with clear or seeded glass.
The proposed fixtures reflect these characteristics through their traditional form, period-
appropriate materials and finishes, and proportional scale. The selected sconce and
pendant fixtures measure 10" L × 9" W × 21" H, which is consistent with historic guidance
for entry lighting.
I am requesting approval under a Certificate of Non-Applicability (HCA-25-162), as exterior
light fixtures are exempt from review under the Historic District Ordinance. Reference
images and a lighting layout are included for your consideration.
Thank you for your time and review.
Sincerely,
Leo Kraunelis

107 Federal Exterior Lighting Pictures and Layout
For entrances, light fixtures of this period featured Geometric Shapes (rectangular or
hexagonal lantern bodies with clean, vertical lines), Neoclassical Details (urn-shaped
finials, or understated scrolls), Authentic Finishes (darkened copper, weathered brass, or
black wrought iron were common for the mid-19th century), and proportion (for a balanced
look, select fixtures that are approximately 1/4 the height of your front door).
Sconce and Pendant Lighting Choice Below: size is 10” L x 9 “ W x 16” H,
